ENRICHMENT

Here at Dreamers we are strong believers in the power of
music. From a young age, we teach the children the importance in different
creative fields and we hope to help them understand music in both context and
as a process to further develop valuable skills. Our primary objective is to guide
children to both enjoy music, and to slowly begin to differentiate between
melody, pace, rhythm, and sound. By examining music in terms of natural
creativity, we seek to use music as both an engagement of learning and of
pleasure. Musical concepts and movement can be tools to help children directly
engage with not only sound, but with one another. The skills they gain from our
musical program at Dreamers, can be used to guide the future years of all
Dreamers' alumni. The music teacher that visits us each week will facilitate
the development of children's socialization, motor, and communication
abilities, while our classroom teachers will use the remaining of the week to
review new ideas and songs. We hope that specific instrumental activities will
encourage children to use music in multiple settings far beyond our classroom
doors.

Spanish and Ukrainian

The importance of learning new languages from a young age
can be crucial to the development of a child. Studies have pronounced that
younger children more quickly pick up language because of their ability to
mimic sounds and quickly develop fluency to new accents. Through songs,
activities, and other creative junctions such as puppets and hands-on art
actives, we strive to help your child learn Spanish in an environment that not
only mimics early stages of language acquisition, but helps children do so with
ease. During class, children enjoy challenging actives as they review new
Spanish words, basic vocabulary that are rooted in colors, shapes, numbers, greetings,
body parts, pets, clothes, and food. In addition, we touch on specific themes
throughout the year that will help your child apply what they are learning in
Spanish to the context of their every day classroom.

We are an American-Ukrainian family and thus the importance
of our Ukrainian heritage is very important here at Dreamers. Although not
mandatory, we strongly encourage your child to participate in our Ukrainian
classes that are offered by one of our Ukrainian teachers. Similar to the
Spanish classroom setting, we strive to introduce children to basic Ukrainian
vocabulary through a number of planned actives. We hope to encourage children
to speak Ukrainian, read children's literature that evidently establishes
Ukrainian culture, and participate in numerous musical actives that involve
rhymes, songs, and more!
